[Died] December 25, 1961. Tokyo economist. Graduated from the University of Tokyo in 1917. Joined Sumitomo Sohonten, but became an assistant professor at his alma mater in 1920. After studying abroad in Europe and the United States, he became a professor in 1923 and taught colonial policy.

His major works include "Taiwan under Imperialism" (1937), "Studies on the South Sea Islands" (1935), and posthumously "Complete Works of Yanaihara Tadao" (29 volumes, 63-65).
